The Troll Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Let me preface this by saying I hate Joey Porter. Absolutely despise the son of a bitch. However, if Adalius Thomas signs elsewhere, Porter is the PERFECT fall-back option. And, personal feelings aside, the dude is a GREAT player. I can't help but feel that we'll get one of the two.

JayKwaz Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 good, that most likely means the Steelers are switching to a 4-3. That means more 3-4 type players for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2784626 After two weeks of internal debate, the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to cut ties with one of their most recognized players -- linebacker Joey Porter. Haynes Porter Porter and running back Verron Haynes were released Thursday as the Steelers got under the salary cap. But the decision to release Porter wasn't as much a cap move as it was a change in direction. A three-time Pro Bowl performer, Porter turns 30 on March 22. And with new coach Mike Tomlin taking over for Bill Cowher, the Steelers were looking to go in a different direction with their linebacking corps. Porter is one of the league's most outspoken players and is willing to verbally challenge opponents. His approach at time did not mesh well with the Steelers' image. Over the past couple of days, Pittsburgh shopped Porter in trade discussions and there was some interest. In the end, the Steelers decided to give him the chance to find a new team instead of sending him somewhere he might not want to go. Porter was entering the final year of his contract and there weren't any plans to sign him to an extension. Porter was scheduled to make $5.225 million this season. His release, and Haynes', save the Steelers $6.065 million of cap room. Because Porter is still a productive player, some people in the organization wanted to keep him. On Thursday, management decided to move on. James Harrison is expected to take over for Porter at outside linebacker. John Clayton is a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com.

124 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I would LOVE to bring in Joey Porter. He's a big mouth guy who backs it up on the field (even though this season he had a bit of a downfall, that does not mean he will continue to fall). He is exactly what a lot of people on this site are looking for in a 3-4 OLB pass rushing role. Again, I would LOVE to see Joey Porter in Jet Green. Now, will it happen? Probably not, but one can hope, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Jet Fan Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I don't see Porter in NE, I dont know, his personality just doesnt fit the whole "gay" motif that New England embodies. I feel like he would love to come to NY where he could get paid a lot, live in NY and team up with some play makers like Vilma and Rhodes and be part of a special D.

TaborJet Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 By Dan Leberfeld Posted Mar 1, 2007 If the Jets don't make a bee-line for free agent linebacker Joey Porter it would be a major surprise. Under their new coach Mike Tomlin, the Steelers are switching from the 3-4 to the 4-3 defense, so Porter became expendable. He was cut on Thursday. He is what the Jets 3-4 defense is in desperate need of - an dynamic pass rushing outside linebacker. Porter, 30, clearly has a few good years left, and it would be shocking if Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum doesn't reach out to him. Not only is Porter a top-shelf 3-4 OLB, but a terrific leader, something that is very important to Tannenbaum and Jets coach Eric Mangini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
